Describing North Carolina Maps: Publisher

This field holds the name of the individual(s), government agencies, or corporate bodies responsible for publishing the map.

The practice of the North Carolina Maps project differs from AACR2 in using standardized names in this field. Rather than reproducing the statement of publication as it appears on the map in this field, the exact wording of the statement of publication is recorded in the Caption field, while a standardized name is recorded in this field. This will allow users to quickly and effectively search and browse records of maps published by a specific publisher.
